Penalties for Multiple DUIs in Florida

It is crucial that you take a DUI arrest seriously, even if it is your
first charge, but especially if there are other charges on your record.
Florida significantly increases penalties for each subsequent charge and
conviction. You should treat the situation with urgency and
contact Attorney Rosenfeld at your first opportunity.

The maximum penalties for second, third, and subsequent DUIs in Florida include:

Second DUI offense:

Incarceration for up to 9 months

Fines up to $4,000

License suspension up to 5 years

Ignition interlock device (IID) installation

Alcohol and driving safety courses

Community service

Third and consequent DUI offense:

Up to 5 years’ incarceration, minimum 30 days

Up to $5,000 in fines

Up to 10 years of license suspension

IID installation, safety courses, and community service

Florida’s DUI Lookback Period

If you have one or more DUI convictions on your record, any subsequent
conviction within the next five years will be considered an additional
offense. This five-year stretch is known as the lookback or washout period.
Penalties may scale predictably with each subsequent conviction. Some
penalties may increase for a subsequent DUI conviction even when the previous
conviction is outside of the five-year lookback period.
